More of Em...

...big sister is out of town right now with her Grammy and Papa. So I've tried to get some shots of Em and she decided to ham it up a little! :):)

She sticks her tongue out all the time now. I think she thinks it's funny cause she's always smiling at the same time. Pretty cute!

I just love the look in her eyes in this one. Not a perfect picture, but look at her eyes! She was actually gazing at Avery. You can just see the love pouring out of her eyes for her big sister! Such a proud mommy! It's such a blessing being a mommy to two beautiful, perfect girls!

I just can't help it....

She's just far too cute!

{Happy 2 Months, Em!}

I'm a couple days late with these, she actually turned 2 months on the 13th... but I'm doing my best! I want to take more shots of her later when Avery is napping. Here's a couple though. Enjoy!

Look at those cheeks!

I know that huge barret looks obnoxious, but its the only way I can tame her hair!! It just keeps growing...I'm so in love with her! XOXOXO

Busy Weekend!

I had the privilage of shooting two families this weekend, both with 3 week old babies. They were born one day apart from each other and they share the same last name... what a coincidence!

Sweet Baby Girl 'S'

Precious piggies, heaven sent!

This is sweet baby boy 'C'. He is just another reminder that miracles really do happen all the time! What a blessing to his family!

Thank you families for allowing me into your homes to capture the sweetness of your new little bundles! I can't wait to do it again another time!

All Boy!

Look at this little guy! This is Avery's cousin Camden who's 3 months older than she is. Gotta love his shirt!

His shirt (and pizza face) does the talking!!

Afternoon at the Beach!

Avery and Daddy playing at the water.
What a beautiful day! I couldn't wait for Avery to wake up from her nap this afternoon so we could head to the beach. I was sooooo excited to have the opportunity to take some pictures outstide in the beautiful, natural sunlight, at the beach on a warm day. I caught a few cute shots of Avery and Mark and Avery and her friend Addie before I realized there was lint and dust in my camera that I couldn't clean out. I was devestated to say the least. But thankful for the shots I was able to catch. So tomorrow, camera is going in for a cleaning!!

Another Beautiful Family

I've been so lucky lately to be holding my first sessions!! I've photographed some beautiful families with in the last month and I'm just loving it! Lifestyle photography has definitely become my newfound passion! Here's a couple from the other day:

Anyways... super-cute family!

I'll be heading out of town tonight. I'm taking Avery over to my parent's house east of the mountains to play in the snow for the weekend. And I'll definitely have my camera!! (Avery doesn't know it yet, but she's going to give sledding a try for the first time!)

One more from the other day:

'C' fell asleep in the car on our way home from picture taking on Thursday. We flat out wore the little guy out... he was in the middle of eating his lunch. Sweet boy fell asleep with his hand in his Happy Meal bag! Tooooo cute!

ALL BOY(s)

Today I was able to get down to my cousin's house to do a little session with her boys. I'm thrilled with the way her pictures turned out. I'm quite happy also because I finally got to take some shots on train tracks! LOVE IT!! I think train tracks are my new favorite place to take pictures! The boys were VERY cooperative... little treats never hurt! Here's a few from today:

Pretty cute, huh?

'S' Family Session

I'm so excited to post this sneak peak of another session I was able to do for my dearest friend and her beautiful family! Brace yourselves...these are precious!!

Daddy's girl!

And Mommy's girls...

Ok, ok... I'm getting a little carried away with 4 peaks!! Ha ha... but they're just so sweet! Enjoy!

'W' Family Session

Within the last few days I've had the privilege of shooting a few family sessions. Here's a little sneak peak of one family. I'm just about finished with processing their images and what I'm seeing makes me smile!! :)

And another......

Isn't she a sweetie? I love the expression on her face in this picture. She wasn't quite sure of what to make of myself and my camera and this image definitely tells you what she was thinkin'!!

Our Daily Necessities

Ok... so I've been trying to take some different pictures, not just pictures of Avery. It's harder than I thought it would be, but I also want to have her favorite things (of the moment) documented as well as just her! So here are a few. The absolute most important of Avery's ESSENTIAL necessities is her blankey. That one is hard to get a shot of because when I try to take it, just borrow it for a few minutes only, she'd rather not cooperate. So blankey will be coming shortly... hopefully! But first, let me tell you that I was inspired for this first photo by another blog that I stalk daily. It's www.lifescapturedmoments.blogspot.com. There's a photo of a bottle of Tylenol and a binky cause her family's been sick. I love the texture on that photo and I'm going to learn how to do all of that one of these days... Anyways... here's the pics!

These are pretty important right now since she just cut her first molar. I'd prefer to have her blankey in this shot too, but not happening:

Next... I'm so proud of Avery for LOVING these activities... must be the teacher in me or something:

Well, I don't know how I feel about the actual photos yet... definitely need to practice. You'd think shooting objects like the above would be easier. After all, they're not moving all over the place and trying to get away from the camera. Ha ha ha!
